How can I use string replace() method with regex in Python?
I want to replace every capital letter with the same letter followed by a space character like this:
xxxxxxxxxx1
text = "mySampleText"2
3
result = text.replace("([A-Z])", " $1") # text.replace(regex, regex)4
5
print(result)but I receive this:
xxxxxxxxxx1
mySampleTextinstead of this:
xxxxxxxxxx1
my Sample Text 1 answer

You can't. Use re.sub() function instead.
Practical example:
xxxxxxxxxx1
import re2
3
text = "mySampleText"4
5
result = re.sub("([A-Z])", r" \1", text) # re.sub(regex, regex, string)6
7
print(result)Output:
xxxxxxxxxx1
my Sample TextNote:
Important thing is to change
$1to\1and userspecifier to treat the regex as a raw string.
